    Let’s run with a couple of facts here. The calorie you’re referring to is a nutritional calorie, which is actually 1 kilocalorie. Let’s also assume this is a 12 ounce can, which would weigh 355 grams. 140,000 kcal per 355 grams gives this drink an energy density of 394.37 kcal per gram. That’s 1,650 kilojoules per gram.

    The energy density of gasoline is 46.4 kJ per gram.

    This stuff has about 35½ times the energy density of the stuff that power cars.

    Sounds about right for the average American diet.
